@Ken: Yeah, I thought that was priceless. I think he added a "be careful" in there, too.

I recently stayed in a cheap hotel in Paris and the shower was so narrow that I literally couldn't get my shoulders in there without doing some strange contortions. And don't drop the soap! You have to exit the shower if you want to bend down for any reason, otherwise you smack your head on the side.

I may have to consult the archives later to get the exact lyrics. For the record, some of my other favorites:

Mama cooked a chicken. Thought it was a duck. Put it on the table with its feet stickin' up.

I appreciate the Russian entry to Eurovision animated babushka gif at the top... I sat through Eurovision on Saturday night hurling abuse and trying to divine lyrics. I think the Russians should've won it, but seeing that most voting on Eurovision is political and a lot of countries involved are former members of the Republic they don't get a lot of love...

I am having such a hard time trying to get the a cappella group I sing with to try any music that isn't Madrigal-religious... or to find any SATB sheet music that is different and fun while avoiding typical a cappella cliches. ANY suggestions (you tube or otherwise) would be appreciated!

Ken From Hyde Park:
I must drive in to work now. But there's no 90.1 FM signal. I have a cell phone, but it's not a smart phone. It has Bluetooth and I can make calls over my car speakers. Is there a phone number I can call that will stream the WFMU sound stream over the telephone? Does that technology been invented yet? I don't need playlist or animated GIF files, just the sound. If you patent telephone music streaming methodologies and principles, let me know, 'cause I want in on that.

Sometimes you hear them talking first before you're on the air, other times you just hear a short burst of static and "FMU, you're on the air" or "FMU you're on the radio", or "FMU, are you on the air?" depending on the show, and you have to come up with something witty to say FAST!!

I'll see what WVKR has on this morning. If nothing else, I'll just hum some tunes while I'm on the road. See ya later.

Oh I love WVKR, I listen to them a lot, whenever I'm in Poughkeepsie. They used to play great hard core rap on Saturday mornings.

The Boston College radio station, WZBC, is also really great, or at least it was 10 years ago.

@Detroit Mac: Don't know why this comes to mind. I had a lot of fun performing this with a chorus from Mannes College's New School For Music: the Geographical Fugue (or Fuge aus der Geographie) by Ernst Toch. It's for SATB and a cappella, but it's also spoken word, so maybe not your group's cuppa. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wAP_WW8O-I

Good idea Zero.. OK He's Gone. The show can now begin.

I should say that WUSB probably doesn't have the listen to the radio signal on the phone deal anymore because they stream their signal on the internet now this being the 21st century after all

Detroit Mac:
Further on the A Cappella front... Looking for songs that are equally interesting in each of the SATB parts... Picky bastard arn't I? Some folks really have a thing against the Swingle Singers, and their SSSAAATTTBBB arrangements!

Wed. 5/30/12 11:00am
Ken From Hyde Park:
On 90.1 FM, I was able to faintly pick up classical music. I think it's some station in CT. Garrison Keillor spoke of poetry on public radio. Commercial radio was full of something they call commercials. That was really boring. One station played some Patsy Cline followed by a haunting tune called "Skip A Rope." Some satellite channel played "Tell Me What You Want" from Zebra and that had a lot of treble and high notes. Traffic was moving normally with no significant delays.

I'm streaming because the Haitian pirate station here in central Brooklyn is using the old 90.9 frequency that Kingsborough Community College used to use, and to make sure the junky dollar buses can get the signal they turn it up to where it takes over 91.1 too.

Every butt is designed with a crack built in

Wed. 5/30/12 11:30am
Butt Head:
It wa modeled after the Japanese butt...

Wed. 5/30/12 11:30am
Caryn:
Maybe more shapely buns would be too expressive, and looked like they were over-acting, rather than expressing emotions? Or the designers got bored of coming to work and finding that some pervy fellow scientist from the neighbouring lab had gotten frisky with the shapely butt, and thus redesigned the butt to be less enticing?

Wed. 5/30/12 11:40am
Caryn:
@kat: yeah, for instance the butt in "Sherry and the Anus" rarely went OTT.

When I read about that awful Miami Cannibal case, I immediately compared it to that cannibal case we had in Germany a couple of years ago. The main difference that struck me: In Germany, it was two guys, cannibal and victim, who met each other over the internet, both acting on fetishistis impulses, it all being very orderly and planned and consensual. In the US, some presumably overdrugged loon just assaulted a homeless guy and got gunned down by a police officer. :-|

Kim Fowley is fascinating. I'll bet he'd make a great documentary subject. He's on enough of them, usually talking about someone else, but it would be cool to see one on him alone.
